PTPLD library card required to register.

While much is written
about the enormous impact of Abraham Lincoln on the history of Illinois, the
contributions of his wife and oldest son are sometimes overlooked. In this
program, we explore the Lincoln Family Legacy in the state, from Abe’s arrival
as a young man in 1830 to Robert Todd’s departure for Vermont and Washington DC
in 1911. During this presentation, we will see
that there is more than one important person sharing a famous surname in this
Land of Lincoln(s).
